PHIIiIP SILBEBMAN. or CHICAGO. trim-noisih i i FAUCET ATTACHMENT/ OR FI XTURE.

ll-W a that I, L? H rue F. Sumam'm ascitizeirot the I'nited States residing at Chicago, in the county oi Cook and State o'f lllinoisu ha re invented certain new and us'eful Improvements. in aucet Attach anents Qrfljtxtures. of wh ch the following rsja spec f cation;

T his invention relates, .to faucet attachl 1- exits :or fixtures,

conjunction with two watertaucets. as are as-aa1'fo1' the deliver of-hot and cold water.

The prese-ntinvention. has for its ohject .the f provision of a means for utilizing scrap soap for the purpose of delivering from the fixture or attachment soapy water otany desired temperature. said stream of soapy u'atei'heing in -the fr'in of a spray. which 'spray'niai" 'be directed over an enlarged area due to the adjustment. of the attachment. It is further possible to deliver the Water from either faiicet directly, without removing the \Vith the 'aho're andother object's inyiew,

' as-wiyillfbe"hereinafter apparent. this inven;

tion consists in the construction.combina tion and arrangement of parts 'al-l asherenr,

Threaded a hashing-19 inat la'ltaigi hut t 1 eat-ailr main-an to' and communicating with the section of pipe is a container 3%,open at its upper end and terminating at its lower endin the enlarged shower head '35.

The upper or open end of the container 3i is provided with a cap 36 held by a chain 37 extending to the section of pipe 29, said cap being removably threaded into the upper end of said container to act as a closure therefor but at. the same time permitting soap or other substance to be placed within the container.

Manifestly. the water or liquid delivered from the'faucets F through the faucet extensions IL-the pipes 18 to the vertical pipe 21-. passes through the elbow the section of pipe 2!) and through the container 34. This flow of water mingles with the soap in the container and the enlarged shower head 35, through which latter it is delivered in a soapy spray.' By the connections between the elbow 25 and the pipes 21 and 529, the container -H is permitted to swing in a vertical as well as a horizontal plane. thereby increasing the surface over which the spray from the shower head 35'1nay'be directed. If. however. it is desired to obtain clear water. the caps 16 of the auxiliary faucets 11 may be removed. pern'iitting direct delivery of the water from the faucets F thronghthe faucet extensions 11, without passing through. the pipes 18. '21 and 29.

In all of the forms of the invention the container 34: and its connection with the vertical delivery pipes 21. :21. and." .21" is the same. the invention varying only in the means of attaching the fixture to the faucet.

It is obvious that the length of the delivery pipe 21, may be varied. as also the [length of the horizontal section of pipe :29.

to meet the requirements of the invention in its many-varied uses. It is apparent that this fixture or attachment ms be used in any connection where it is desirable to deliver :1 quantity of fluid mixed with soap or any other ingredient over an exteudedarea, to-,wit, in barber shops. kitchens. launrlries and, in fact. anywhere where a freshand clean supply of soapy water is desired.

} The universal adjustment of the container 34 incre'ases'the' utility ofkthe fixture. in that it vastly increases the area over which the spray may be. delivered. and at the same in e permits of swinging one side. out of the way.

,Yhatlis claimed is:

1.. .T he conilnat on with a vertical pipe.

,of; a transverse pipe connecting writ-h the lower end thereof, an enter on com c-ted with each end of said t-i'aust the container to.

extending on each side thereof, means to: remouably securing the upper ends of said extensions to faucets, and removable closures for the lower eons of said extensions.

2. The combination witha vertical standpipe. of a container terminating in a shower head, a connect-ion between sald container and said standpipe whereby the former always rests a plane parallel to the latter ways rests in a plane parallel to the latter' and may swing. in a horizontal. and a vertical plane about the latter, a transverse pipe communicating with the opposite end of said vertical standpipe, a vertical extension at each end of said transverse pipe. means at the npperends of said extensions for removably securing the same to faucets. and removable closure for the lower ends of said extensions.

4. Theconibination with a container terminating in a large shower head. of means for supplying fluid to said container comprising' a vertical. standp'ipe resting approximately parallel to said container. a connection betweensaid standpipe and said" can'- tainer whereby the container may swing in a vertical as well as horizontal/plane. a transverse supply pipe commnnicating with the lower end of said standpipe. and a transverse extension at the terminals of said supply pipe adapted [to removably engage faucets.

5. T he combination with a vertical pipe. of a transverse pipe connected with. the lower end thereof, an extension connected with each end of said transverse pipe and extemiing on each side thereof. meansfor removablfv securing the upper tPIlllS ofsaid extensions to faucets." and remo able .,c'iosures for the lower ends of said extensions whereby when ilrtheir operative po-i- "set my hand rse pipe and;

tioin-a'he How of fluid from the' faucet may he dlr'ected injto'the transverse and vertical pipesv aforesaid.
